Description: A synthetic narcotic, fentanyl has been detected in an increasing number of illicit drug overdose deaths in Metro Vancouver. Many of the people who died were recreational and/or occasional users and don’t appear to have known they were ingesting fentanyl, as it is easily hidden in other drugs.

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canadians and Spokane Indians had Thursday’s Northwest League baseball game suspended due to a steady rain that persisted above Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium.

This game will be picked up in the top of the 2nd inning with Spokane runners at second and third base with none out and the Canadians leading 1-0 on Friday, beginnig at 1:05 p.m., as part of a double header. The game will remain a full nine-inning effort before a short break, followed by the series finale which will now be scheduled as a seven-inning game.

Those in attendance at Thursday’s suspended game can bring their ticket to Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium and exchange it for a voucher of equal value to any of the remaining scheduled regular season games this 2014 season (based upon availability).
